<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1433289, member: 111&quot;]Checked &#039;Palmetto Silver: Riches of the South&#039; (2003) and they show two teaspoons and two tablespoons by Joseph Lee as part of the associated McKissick Museum exhibit (oddly, they appear to have coffin-ends, which were unlikely to have been produced as early as their suggested 1780 dating) - the same locations and working dates for Lee noted.&nbsp; Also checked the Houston Museum of Fine Arts&#039; &#039;Southern Silver&#039; (1968), found no mention of Lee, but then, looking for more information, checked Belden&#039;s &#039;Marks of American Silversmiths in the Ineson-Bissell Collection&#039; (1980), and found the same mark, as found on spoons of similar form to those in the first book, tentatively identified, with citation, as a Connecticut maker - perhaps further research between publication of Belden and the McKissick book identified him as a South Carolina maker...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]224001[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
